Will this be the fate of windows 10 as well?

I stumbled upon this video of when linux users protested windows 98 in 1999 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j9j-Ywjmbk
i found it interesting and also very familiar to what we are dealing with today
so i am now wondering if this could happen again only with a much bigger linux audience in the protest

I'm downloading it for future generations. The sad thing is – and if I'm wrong, please someone correct me – Microsoft still has agreements making it difficult for people to not use their products.

MrSatan It's like that article I posted a few days ago. People today are literally leasing software and, to some degree, hardware. It's awful.

Since licenses are less physical now it's a bit harder to demand a refund

Instead of demanding refunds after we have bought Windows, we should demand the option to buy computers without it in the first place. And then vote with our wallets.

This is a thing in Europe I guess. Browsing through popular PC webshops, there are always some options for Windows alternatives in Hungary like FreeDos, different linux distros or simply the PC doesn't come with an OS. It's also cheaper without OS obviously.
